Remarks by the President to the Pool Outside the Harley Davidson Pilgrim Road Powertrain Operations
Menomonoee Falls, Wisconsin

12:10 P.M. CDT

THE PRESIDENT: Everybody
enjoying themselves in Waco?

Q Love it.

THE PRESIDENT: That's the
spirit.

Q Sir, there were
some comments on the Sunday chat shows yesterday that you're
disconnected in the Middle East Peace Process. Do you have
any response to that?

THE PRESIDENT: Every time I
talk to you all, you ask me about the Middle East. Nothing
has changed. We're very much engaged, trying to break the
cycle of violence. I spoke to Ariel Sharon the other
day. The Secretary of State is in constant dialogue with the
parties in the Middle East. In order to get to a peace
process or discussions of peace, we must end the
violence. And it requires two parties. It
requires the desires of both parties to do that. Thank you. Anything else?

It's great to be here in one of the world
class manufacturing companies, a company that not only is good at
making a product, a company that is fabulous at marketing a
product. The Harley Davidson is a great example of the
American entrepreneurial spirit. I look forward to having
lunch with the workers and thank them for putting out such a quality
product.

Q Did you decide to
take one home, Mr. President? (Laughter.)
